The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Dar es Salaam

First topic message reminder :

Hamjambo. Karibuni Virtual Rugby Pub - a place where you can come in for a sly beverage and discuss whatever's on your mind, or just eavesdrop on the regulars if you fancy a break from all the rugby chat. The pub has ventured to Dar es Salaam in Tanzania to visit pub regular MBTGOG on his big trip there. Maisha marefu! Afya! Vifijo!

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the pictures of Sir Fred "The Needle" Allen, Aberdeen Shikoyi, Isoa Damudamu, Chris "Mossy" Patterson, Nathan Hines and Simon Danielli. The poor defenseless IRB referee's jersey draped over the dartboard is fair game though Whistle

Just got a €60 voucher from work and i'm looking to spend it on something that i normally wouldn't buy. Some lego would be my first option but i'm opening it up to the floor, best suggestion will be bought.

A Munster shirt.

Well, you said something you wouldn't normally buy.

What other choice was there in reality?

Advantage Leinster though I believe. He'll be down on Ulster if they try to slow the ball too much.

Poite would have been an advantage to Ulster alright. We should know how to play Nige by now.

In my office, i have my chair, my desk, two chairs on the opposite side of my desk and 5 meters clear walking to my door. Very few obstacles, so why is it that i cant leave or enter my office without falling over something and burning myself with hot coffee?

Dont tell Viking lady that i have been discussing sheep again, i may lose one Wink

Do any of you know why the sheep stay away from cliffs when the sheep herders are around?

by eirebilly Tue 08 May 2012, 2:10 pm

Do you know why we bring the sheep to cliffs in the first place? Wink

Paddy and Mick were walking along a country road one day when they came upon a sheep with its head stuck through a wire fence. Not being on to miss an opportunity, Paddy lept over the fence and had his way with said sheep. After finishing, he said to his mate, "Your turn, Mick" - to which Mick replied

"No feicin' way I'm putting my head through that fence...."

....... Run

by Glas a du Tue 08 May 2012, 3:04 pm

Hmmm, how to change the subject.

It's a cracking idea England and France have come up with to sort out the HC, no?

by red_stag Tue 08 May 2012, 3:06 pm

Glas, it certainly is an interesting one.

Which Mick are we on about here then? Wink

Did this Mick give the sheep a certain chocolate bar after?

If the system was in force now:

2012-2013

England
1 Harlequins
2 Leicester Tigers
3 Saracens
4 Northampton Saints
5 Exeter Chiefs
6 Sale Sharks

France
1 Toulouse
2 Clermont
3 Toulon
4 Montpellier
5 Castres
6 Racing Métro
+ Biaritz

The Federal Republic of Rabo Directia
1 Leinster Rugby
2 Ospreys
3 Munster Rugby
4 Glasgow Warriors
5 Scarlets
6 Ulster Rugby
+ Cardiff Blues

Hard to argue they are not the 20 best teams in Europe.

Ranking order:
1 Leinster
2 Toulouse
3 Munster
4 Cardiff Blues
5 Biaritz
6 Leicester Tigers
7 Northampton Saints
10 Clermont
11 Ospreys
13 Harlequins
16 Ulster
17 Saracens
19 Toulon
20 Glasgow
21 Scarlets
22 Sale
31 Castres
32 Montpellier
33 Racing Metro
not in top 40 Exeter

Top 20 ranked teams not qualifying
Stade Francais
Perpingnan
Bath
Wasps
London Irish
Gloucester

Glas, its a debate thats been had several times.

by Glas a du Tue 08 May 2012, 3:49 pm

You're right of course, but before it was theoretical. This debate is now being had in the corridors of power.

Weather's nice.

by red_stag Tue 08 May 2012, 3:50 pm

Whether it is right or wrong, I think we will see some change to the format of the European Cups.

by Glas a du Tue 08 May 2012, 3:56 pm

I hope its not a fudge. A messy compromise where everybody's worse off, or worse still England and/or France pull out for a season or two.

I think that is a lot less likely now than perhaps a few years ago.

Any news on O'Connell? He was having his knee scanned today wasn't he?

by red_stag Tue 08 May 2012, 4:34 pm

Rodders he is defnitely out of the semi final v Ospreys.

4-6 weeks is the verdict. The photo doesnt look promising. Makes him look like an old man with a cane.

http://www.munsterrugby.ie/news/10469.php

by **rodders** Tue 08 May 2012, 4:41 pm

Thats another blow for the big man. He's been in awesome form but thats his 3rd injury since returning last season.

He might have a contract until 2014 but the way he plays and the number of injuries he's had you wonder if that's a bit optimistic by the IRFU.

I'd love to see him last until 2015 but it looks like the writing is on the wall.

by red_stag Tue 08 May 2012, 4:43 pm

I think personally we are better off in NZ without him.

I see Donnacha Ryan won Munster player of the season.

by **rodders** Tue 08 May 2012, 4:46 pm

Fair play to Ryan he's really come on his season but personally I think Coughlan, POM and Botha have been Munsters most consistant players over the season..perhaps even Mafi. POC would be up there too.

by red_stag Tue 08 May 2012, 4:49 pm

Yes I am impressed with Ryan but he wasn't our best player this year.

Some of those skills and keeping the ball alive are 7s-esque
